Hi, i am a portuguese mother of 3, i sew for kids and dolls and collect dolls (all kind). I make waldorf dolls wich I love dearly. I love all kind of crafts, and always have a lot of started items wich i intend to finish some day :) I love cats, and have one female cat who is staying with my mum, because of alergic issues on my family. I colect all things related to sewing, patterns (all kind), fabrics, rybons, buttons, and so on. I don't have a prefered colour, and i love handmade things. Anything with animals - frogs, cats, dogs, chickens, etc, - and/or flowers are sure to please me but i also love abstract designs, i am not picky at all. I love swaps because i love surprises. About SHIPPING to Portugal from US - I prefer, whenever possible, that you send swap things in an envelope, padded or not. Our costumes duty it's tricky about boxes, they use to open it every now and then, and then i have to pay taxes on it and this also means extra time for things to be delivered, and don't matter if it is a gift or not. Also because of that please rate everything you send me as a 5$ or under value and put the word Samples on the outside of envelope, please don't put swap or swapbot. Thanks. Shipping for a large envelope can be around 10$, a small envelope with rybons or flat like things can cost around $1, a box like a doll box (for a 18" doll) can be around 25$ if it isn't too heavy. A realy heavy box saying 2kg in the fast way delivery can cost you around 40$. I am talking on air delivery not surface. Surface is always less costly but it can take a month to arrive. This doesn't aply to Europe.

Any music, a special feeling for Carmen (Bizet) wich i love to ear very loud when i am doing my annoying house duties.

Most of the Disney animation ones, like Snow White, Cinderela, Little Mermaid... Also comedie, I don't like tragic or sad movies because i cry a lot when assisting it so i prefer to stay away from them...

Don't assist on TV on a regular basis, so...

Sewing, cooking (and eating whatever i cook), painting, Knitting, Crocheting, - (not necessarely on this order) I am finally learning to quilt, and i am loving the experience.
